Gun shop sealed in Jammu; deadline set for surrendering excess firearms
Jammu, Dec 7 (PTI) A shop selling guns was sealed for not renewing its trade license here on Saturday while authorities set a deadline for all firearms license holders to surrender their excess weapons within a week, officials said.
The owner of the gun shop in the Shiv Nagar area, Amarnath Bhargav, claimed that the district administration did not issue any notice to him before taking action.
“I have timely applied for the renewal of the license and completed all requisite formalities several months ago but they came and sealed the shop without a notice,” Bhargav said, demanding an inquiry into the delay in renewing the license.
He said that he has been running the shop for the last 45 years.
